If the tasks can be run independantly, seperate the long processes into their own crons.
Otherwise your just going to have to wait. For the example of sms, I assuming that you have a task that sends an sms on completion or on some conditions. Instead of sending them straight away, log them to a db or file and have a seperate cron fire up say 30 mins after the first one to run through the sms queue.
